worth every penny, the best of the best are few and far between, and this one cannot ever depreciate again...

If you paid £18k then it would have depreciated the minute you bought it.
funny how people are happier to throw money at a cheap dog that will never be good, rather than just save it up and buy a minter?
hard to know without seeing it though isn't it? both you and i are guessing until we see the car.
i have worked on many classic mercedes over the years, including a dozen or so 190 cosworths.
many of these cars were presented by proud owners, over the moon at the bargains they had bought into.
sadly on inspection, pretty much all were in sorry condition, realistically requiring thousands of pounds of parts and endless hours of labour to bring them up to a genuinely good standard. Sadly the 190 cosworth was too desirable to the boy racers, with little money and heavy right feet.
common sense prevents me from showing these 'new' car owners my true thoughts.
for those looking to buy into classic cars (as the 190 now is), the best advice is ALWAYS to get the very best they can - saves money in the long run.
if the car listed is as good as it claims (a big IF, it claims near perfection, the ad must be read...) it is worth every penny.
however, if it turns out to not to be 'near perfect' forget it.
interestingly i have a classic 190 in tomorrow, a 190SL.
it has gleaming paintwork (overspray on perished window seals and zillions of pin holes etc), brand new interior (the seats are very nicely redone, but window and door seals are in poor nick etc) and shiny chrome (for how long who knows). what is not obvious at first glance is the heavily worn mechanical underpinnings, neglected for decades, which will require constant repair work in the present and future.
